Hi Laniwxr6, everyone has their different opinions on this subject, myself and a few others in the xrclub of qld use Swissol. It is not the cheapest product on the market but when applied correctly gives a stunning finish imo. Once applied i find the car very easy to wash and maintain, i strip it back and re-apply every twelve months. Obviously there are many products on the market which will give you a similar result.

I will pm you the contact details of the distributor if you like.

G'day Lani,

You will no doubt get lots of advice on which product is best. I myself use Bowden's Own brand of car care products. I found them to be as good if not better that the overseas ones and they are manufactured here in Aus. You won't pick them up anywhere other that Autobarn or from their website www.bowdensown.com.au

What ever you use you will find it is a labour of love, 4 hours cleaning and waxing the car is time well spent IMO but others hate it. I hope you enjoy your car as much as everybody on this forum does.

Ken

P.S I have responded to your email that you sent to the club with the info you require.
